Desmond

[Verse 1]

Desmond did a chore in the marketplace

Ex writin’ negs[?] with his band

Except to death move [?] like blazing it

The evening, they plot to do what’s nice

[Chorus 1]

But they puttin' it off

They puttin' it off

Why they keep on puttin' it off?

[Verse 2]

Ed knew [?] break down from on the precinct square

Stupid tart and [?] chew

Fat man said Eddie yes and liked that had[?] and now

Slow and back, and stow and back like you

[Chorus 2]

But he put it off

He didn't put it on

Why did he get on puttin’ it on?

[Bridge]

Don't you know he's not like that?

Don't you know he never is?

Don't you know he won't move that way?

Don't you know he never did?

[Verse 3]

Simon number one, with the old school team

Fastest legs who ever saw move

Now he sits at home, bum from his flat

Waitin’ for his channel to get by

[Chorus 3]

But he's puttin' it on

He's puttin' it on

Why’d he keep on puttin' it on?

[Bridge]

And we know he's not like him

And he never, never was

And we don't don't sound like him

No, he never, never could do

And know he don’t move that way

Cause he just don't fit

[Outro]

La-la la-la-la, la-la-la la-la-la

La-la la-la-la, la-la-la la-la
